Train approaching the Duoliang Station in Taitung, on the east coast of Taiwan

A Taste of Taiwan by Train

Taiwan is a year-round destination and, as long as you prepare for the odd tropical shower, July is a great time to visit. This island nation off the coast of China is one of our top picks for 2024, thanks to its unique cultural blend, eclectic array of modern cities and enviable natural beauty. This nine-day Rail Trip showcases it all as we loop around the island via a series of scenic train journeys – most notable is the stunning east coast leg. You’ll discover the street food delights of bustling night markets, marvel at striking works of temple architecture and enjoy urban greenspaces in Taipei, Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung. Meanwhile, countryside escapes include a day enjoying the serenity of Sun Moon Lake – as well as the world class tea produced nearby – and another exploring the unique rock formations of Taroko Gorge. Our July departure starts in Taipei on the 20th!

Seductive Southern Italy

Let’s get back to the Med and over to the sparkling waters of the Amalfi Coast. This 10-day jaunt is a real ode to the romance of coastal Italy, starting on the charming old streets of Naples, where an unforgettable street food tour awaits. Then we road trip along the Amalfi, stopping off in quaint seaside towns and hopping onboard a boat cruise. Full up on seafood pasta, gelato and limoncello, we’ll head across from west to east. Inland stops include the unique hilltop town of Matera and the quirky trulli huts of Alberobello, as well as the vineyards and olive groves of the Itria Valley, which we’ll explore by e-bike. We’ll eventually see the sea once more, spending a day on the glorious beaches of Polignano a Mare, before visiting some of the most beautiful towns and cities in Puglia, ending up in Lecce, AKA the Florence of the South. Will you join us in Naples on 20 July?

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day.
